he couldnāt fall off those front foot impossibles if he tried!?!
so on lock
He was one of those skaters we aÄŗl idolised at the timeā¦ Nice to see him pop up in 1st and Hope years later
this is loveās last whisper
It was always insane to me that it was virtually impossible to ever buy any Markus Wyndham products. I had numerous Birdhouse Ocean boards but I canāt remember if Planet Earth even did a Markus board. Shame really. After that video they were the two most interesting skaters in the world for a short period
YEAH OCEAN!!
Gonna check this out later thanks
He did have boards on Planet Earth but his peak progression era and his pro board era didnāt match up and Planet Earth was on the slide from 92 anyway.
Planet Earth was so rad when it came out but seemed to date so fast. Every skater saw āNowānālaterā but who remembers āAnimal Farmā?
Was āCatās Cradleā after that? Whatevs - it was shit after Now n Later anyway. I think they moved away from World/Ternasky distro or something, right?
Dont know about distribution exactly but when HStreet broke up Chris Miller took over Planet Earth and they lost Lotti and Jovontae at the same time
What is the video with Marcus Wyndham doing a back 3 lip on a proper handrail?
Was the āNot The New H-Street Videoā?
Thatās s insanely ahead of its time, no?
Yeah it was.
I liked the one foot tail grab 5-0 handrail in Risk It too but surprisingly that one never became widely copied
Mouly did them.
Haha, I remember this being the trick for a hot minute and it seemed like we were all doing or trying them for a few short months.
Alex did everything tbf
Excuse to post these 2
1991
Iād totally forgotten about this part. Insanity for 91. The curb stuff is pure futurism.
Switch bigspin down stairs and the switch bs 180 5.0 (argue amongst yourselves) on āthatā rail are genuinely absurd for 33 years ago.
1994
Posting this as well hashtag āforthecultureā.
Pā¦s 270 lip on the handrail was Hokus Pokus too making it even earlier at 1989.
Mind-boggling levels of innovation.
EDIT: hang on, am i wrong? was it ājustā the pop shove-it 5.0 and 180 nosegrind on hokus? either way - PISSTAKE
He did and more. Taught me everything I know (The very little I know)
Considering that Ed was supposedly the first person to have grinded a handrail in the streets for that Circle A ad which was 1988ā¦the words āabsurdā and āpisstakeā are perfect.
That would/could mean that progression from āvery first handrail grindā to technical moves like BS270 Lipslide or switch bs 180 Nosegrind (Yes. I did that) was possibly/probably merely months.
Think about turnaround times here for print and VHS release, too. It only narrows the window further.
Unless Marcus was part of that crew or something, it just becomes even more absurd or pisstake-y that this went down.
Mind blown.
Bluntslide and kickflip boardslide down handrails also in Hokus Pokus (edit: nah Salās kickflip was in Next, oops :D)
Possibly also a Paulo Diaz nosebluntslide down a handrail in Ban This (according to Clyde Singleton) but I think itās actually lipslide.
Ed was just the first ad on a handrail, not the first handrail in the street.
Gonz in psycho skate werenāt it?
